During the U18 World Championships we will hold elections for three U18 athletes to serve as representatives on the IFA Youth Commission and IFA Athletes’ Commission. The candidates were presented during the 6th Youth Congress.
The elected U18 representatives will serve for a term of 2 years or until the next IFA Fistball U18 World Championship in 2026.
